My first time hearing Dolores O’Riordan’s voice was unforgettable. It threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of Rock. I’d never heard somebody use their instrument in that way. Shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, thoughts are with her family.

Famous musicians and fans were shocked at the news, as the popular singer, who was famous for songs such as ‘Zombie’ and ‘Linger’ had been working on a new recording.
The voice of Dolores O’Riordan has always been the sound of hope and youth and determination and an unwillingness to accept that you can’t change the world if you need to. We were lucky to have your voice growing up, Dolores. Rest in Peace.
